Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a method and application of a phosphoglucomutase mutant in improving the production of salidroside by genetically engineered bacteria. Background Art

[0002] Salidroside (CAS 10338-51-9) is a natural glycoside compound, chemically named 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl- β -D-glucoside (molecular formula C 14 H 20 O7, molecular weight 300.3). Its physical and chemical properties include sweet taste and high water solubility (very soluble in water and methanol, poorly soluble in ether). Salidroside is the core active ingredient of the genus Rhodiola in the Rosaceae family, exhibiting multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-hypoxia, anti-fatigue, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-tumor activities. With its expanding application in functional foods, cosmetics, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs, global market demand is growing by over 15% annually.

[0003] Extracting salidroside from natural plants faces significant bottlenecks. Wild Rhodiola rosea resources are scarce, with a growth cycle of 5-7 years and a mere 0.1-1% (dry weight), which is insufficient to meet market demand. While chemical synthesis allows for large-scale production, it faces challenges such as the use of toxic reagents (such as halogenated hydrocarbons and heavy metal catalysts), significant pollution, and a violation of green manufacturing principles. However, biosynthesis is considered an alternative due to its mild conditions, minimal byproducts, and environmental friendliness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to increase the yield of salidroside.

[0005] The present invention provides a phosphoglucomutase mutant. The phosphoglucomutase mutant is obtained by taking the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2 as the starting sequence and mutating any one of the 5th, 114th and 431st positions.

[0006] The present invention provides a phosphoglucomutase mutant, wherein the phosphoglucomutase mutant is any one of the following: (1) Using the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 as the starting sequence, replace the asparagine at position 5 with proline; (2) Using the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 as the starting sequence, replace the asparagine at position 114 with aspartic acid; (3) Using the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 as the starting sequence, replace the glutamic acid at position 431 with glutamine.

[0007] The present invention provides a gene encoding the above-mentioned phosphoglucomutase mutant.

[0008] The present invention provides a recombinant vector containing the gene.

[0009] It is further defined that the starting vectors are pRSFDuet series and pETDuet series.

[0010] The present invention provides a recombinant microbial cell containing the gene.

[0011] Further defined, overexpression in Escherichia coli derived from Escherichia coli ( Escherichia coli ) phosphoglucomutase mutant gene pgm Mut and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase genes galU Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae phenylpyruvate decarboxylase gene ARO10 and alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH6 The recombinant plasmid pRSFDuet- pgm-galU-ARO10-ADH6 and overexpression of a mutant 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulose-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase gene from Escherichia coli aroG fbr , derived from Zymomonas mobilis ( Zymomonas mobilis tyrC ) cyclohexadiene dehydrogenase gene Arabidopsis thaliana and from Arabidopsis thaliana ( AtUGT85A1 ) glycosyltransferase genes aroG The recombinant plasmid pETDuet- -tyrC-AtUGT85A1 fbr Escherichia coli .

[0012] The present invention provides a use of the above-mentioned phosphoglucomutase mutant, the above-mentioned gene, the above-mentioned recombinant vector or the above-mentioned recombinant microbial cell in the production of salidroside.

[0013] The present invention provides a method for producing salidroside, which comprises the following steps: fermenting the above-mentioned recombinant microbial cells at 30° C. for 72 hours.

[0014] Further limited, the fermentation medium ingredients are 25 g / L glucose, 10 g / L glycerol, 7.5 g / L (NH4)2SO4, 3 g / L K2HPO4·3H2O, 2 g / L KH2PO4, 2.0 g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 1.0 g / L monohydrate citric acid, 0.1 g / L vitamin B1, 7 g / L yeast powder, using 10 g / L CaCO3 to maintain the pH of the fermentation medium. Add 0.1% volume of trace elements to the medium, the trace element ingredients: 2.0 g / L Al2(SO4)3·18H2O, 0.75 g / L CoSO4·7H2O, 2.5 g / L CuSO4·5H2O, 0.5 g / L H3BO3, 24 g / L MnSO4·H2O, 2.5 g / L NiSO4·6H2O and 15 g / L ZnSO4·7H2O, adjust the pH to 7.0 with NaOH.

[0015] Beneficial effect: Phosphoglucomutase plays a key role in activating the sugar donor in the biosynthesis of salidroside. Its role is to catalyze the formation of glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) from glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), which reacts under the catalysis of UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase to generate UDP-glucose (UDPG). UDPG acts as a sugar donor, and the last step of salidroside biosynthesis is catalyzed by glycosyltransferase, which transfers the glucose group in UDPG to the C8 hydroxyl group of tyramine to form salidroside. If the supply of UDPG is insufficient, it will directly limit the synthesis efficiency of salidroside. Therefore, modifying phosphoglucomutase to obtain a high-efficiency phosphoglucomutase mutant is another effective way for high-efficiency biosynthesis of salidroside. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
